According to the original arrangement of the military leaders, after the military academy students went there, they would be pawns planted in the local warlords. They would report all the local situations, but their hearts would still be with Jinling.

On the surface, they are your subordinates, but in fact they are loyal to Jinling and their original superiors.

But those who went to Li Shaoyi were Li Shaoyi's subordinates on the surface, but in their hearts they were loyal to his own belief in serving the country. This was no longer loyalty to a certain person.

Li Shaoyi always told his men that your military career is not about loyalty to a certain person, but loyalty to this country and this nation.

When these words struck the hearts of those military academy students, many of them instantly felt that their lives had been in vain. The ambition they had to serve their country in the past had almost been wiped out over the years.

After arriving at the 72nd Division, I found that this was truly an army serving the country and the people. There was no internal strife, only a fearless attitude towards death against the Japanese.

Some people were ready to fight with all their might, but after arriving at the 72nd Division, they found that their skills were useless. No one had the time to fight with them. Some of them just asked their subordinates to train hard and stand out on the training ground. Only in this way could they get a chance to fight.

Only after you have the opportunity to fight can you move to a bigger stage, so the officers here compete in training and fighting methods. Only in this way can they be promoted. What they learned in the military academy and Jinling before is useless in the territory of the 72nd Division.

Of course, you can also stick to the original set of rules, which means you will be eliminated within two or three months. If you want to integrate, you can only follow the set of rules of the 72nd Division. So when you are busy with training and fighting, you naturally forget the instructions from Nanjing. Some even send a telegram only once every one or two months, and most of the telegrams are irrelevant. To put it bluntly, they are just a piece of waste paper. Some people even report the weather.

So the people from Jinling sent batch after batch, and each batch of people almost disappeared without a trace. You said he was alive, but he didn't give you any news. You said he was dead, but he was still working hard on the training ground of the 72nd Division.

Occasionally, it would even appear in the newspapers, reporting that a certain Japanese army unit had been defeated, with so many people killed and so many captured.

It is obvious that such people were pulled over by Li Shaoyi with the belief of the 72nd Division. This kind of obedience from the bottom of the heart is definitely much stronger than years of training.

Therefore, many people in Jinling have already realized that it is useless to control Li Shaoyi by this method. No matter how many officers you send to him, this guy will be able to convert as many officers as you send. In the end, all the spies you sent have become his grassroots forces, and you will still hate him to death.

The convoy soon arrived at the 72nd Division Office.

"It wasn't this lively when I came last time. Are you all here to meet me?"

Li Shaoyi looked at the large number of cars at the door and said that he didn't seem to be that famous yet.

"You might be a little disappointed. These people aren't here to meet you. They're here to handle aviation business. Our airline's office is right next door. We've recently chosen a new location, but for now, we'll have to stay here."

Li Sibei said with a smile, and Li Shaoyi then saw that after the convoy came, it did not affect the queue of these people. They did not even look at the convoy, but only looked at the team in front, hoping to move forward faster.

"So the airlines are making a lot of money?"

When it comes to making money, Li Shaoyi is happier than anyone else.

"It's more than just making a fortune. I remember last month's account book, the airline had 72 aircraft in operation, and each aircraft could earn almost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan within a month."

Wu Zhenkui opened his notebook and wrote down some important numbers. When Li Shaoyi founded the airline, everyone thought it was a project with large investment and low returns. However, after it was officially put into operation, everyone realized how powerful the aviation business was.

Some people only saw the business of transporting people, but Li Shaoyi saw the business of freight. In this era, rich people valued their lives more, so aviation did not really develop. That was also related to the unsafe nature of airplanes. But if it was about transporting some goods and letters, these people would not care.

Think about how powerful the express delivery industry is in the 21st century. If you started an air express company in this era, and you had a monopoly, wouldn't you have the final say on how much money you could make? A letter from Nanjing to Peking, using an air route, could most likely be delivered the same day, with a few arriving the next day. Fifty yuan wouldn't be too much, right?

Some people naturally cannot afford it, but for some high-ranking officials and dignitaries, this time is important. As long as you can deliver it on the same day, fifty dollars is really too cheap for them.

Telegrams could be sent, but they were charged per word. How many words were in a letter? If you really collected the money, fifty dollars wouldn't cover many words. Furthermore, fifty dollars here was a folder, and besides a letter, other things could be put in it.

The twenty or thirty thousand oceans that Wu Zhenkui mentioned were pure profits. Li Shaoyi didn't spend any money on the planes or the fuel. Apart from the pilots' salaries, there were basically no other costs. If we were to talk about Li Shaoyi's profit, it would probably be more than seventy or eighty thousand.

"I remember now. Dong Yueyan was anxious to see you at the airport just now. It must be about the airline. We own the majority of the airline, and she owns a smaller stake. Will they increase their capital or expand their shares?"

Li Sibei suddenly thought of another thing. Such a huge profit, a net profit of one and a half million to two million oceans per month, this is just the beginning stage, and it is very likely to double in the future. In this case, they will definitely have other ideas.

According to the current shareholding arrangement, Dong Yueyan holds 30%, Li Shaoyi holds 60%, and the remaining 10% is distributed to some powerful people in various places.

"The shares cannot be changed. If he wants to change them, I will close the airline."

After entering the building, Li Shaoyi said without hesitation.

Before these people saw profits, they had to beg them to open an airline. After they saw profits, Li Shaoyi wanted to close the airline, which was tantamount to cutting their aorta.
